This situation is good for Ankrum as it allows him to reset with a team that competes for weekly victories. As for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, it allows them to take a look at Ankrum with some sponsorship money coming along as well. It will be interesting to see how this partnership goes as Ankrum looks to return to victory lane.
